I don't agree with how updates such as a new skill can be polled just below 75% and be rejected; yet 1/2 of players on some survey I was never even aware of showed interest in item rebalancing and you're rolling out the proposals for another integrity update.

Please leave the items as they are or at least formally poll it to the same standards as any other update. I see this being a detriment to the longevity of the game ad opposed to a benefit.

I am wholeheartedly against the proposed changes and I'd suggest focusing on actually developing new content instead of defacing what is already there.

Uhmmm, i see the comments and i think it's not good to change the Gear and Weapon Stats.
Jeahhh any Gear and Weapons are very strong, but the change of Stats is a bad idea (you see the comments).
With the Level change from the Weapons i have no Problems, because i am a Main, but Zerk's and Pure's can have Problems with this Change.

On the whole, i would say, not change the Stats and Levels, i think this can destroy the play structure.
My opinion, the play structure was better than ever.
Oldschool Runescape in 2007 ist nostalgic, but this Oldschool Runescape today, is the best, i love it to play this game, day for day, meanwhile the love of this Version of Game is bigger than the love for many Years. <3
Please don't destroy this feeling. O_o

Some of these changes don't seem to crazy, but as an ironman using the bp helps a bunch. I think lowering the bp by half like mentioned is a bit much, especially with dart changes. I'd suggest maybe lowering it by half of the proposed amount so that change doesn't feel to drastic.

I think nezzy faceguard should be left how it is, it has a 1/2k drop rate for jaw off task, which is way lower than the 1/128 serp helm. Which should make it better as its more rare. Could simply increase the slayer req required for basilisk knights.

Prayer bonus on tbow is negligible and doubt the change would effect much. Dhide and dhin's changes were needed so pvp won't cry.


I feel like the bronze to rune changes only effect extremely low levels or f2p, no comments for this stuff.

Some of these changes i feel like too much of a step back for the game, some of the items have had multiple reworks and adjustments already because you guys thought they were too much. I feel a loss of veteran players with some of these changes unless Ed polled.

Guess this is my second or third time posting in this forum in 15 years of playing this game and I want to say that I'm not against any of these proposals if there was a poll to see what the community think about it, not doing that with the pretext of "game intregity" is a cowardly move and is very presumptuous of you thinking that you know whats is better for the game besides de opinion and the voice of thousands of players that spent their time and money with it.

At the end of the post you guys said that want to discuss about this update and listen our feedback, well there it is...tons of disapproval, so listen us and do the right thing.

I really hope this proposal gets polled. It was my understanding that changes to this game would be polled by the community. I also would be way more in favor for changes of this caliber if maybe there was some sort of roadmap or such for Raids 3 or future PvM content. Making huge changes to existing items without new ones also in the works seems like a prime way to lose support from dedicated players. Again I cannot stress this enough PLEASE Poll this proposal.

I am one of the players that voted in favor of item nerfs. However, I do have issue with the way this is being rolled out.

I would prefer to see items nerfed VERY slightly over a longer periods of time. For example, when nerfing items like the BP do a small nerf in a January update and then if the item still needs reduction another small nerf in March and so on. I believe this would be a smoother transition for players, game mechanics, and the economy.

I think the main cause of outrage in these suggestions is the number of items being nerfed at once, how long these items have been in the game, AND the amount of nerf applied (such as the BP).

I would much prefer to see long existing items nerfed very minimally over long periods of time to lessen the blow to the economy and PVM/PVP. I don't have as much reservation about hard nerfing new items in the game.

I like the changes about making chain bodies more optimal for range tanking and am looking forward to future end game chain bodies!

Thanks for all you do!

You asked for our feedback, but you have a perfectly good polling system in place so I imagine you don't really want it. Why are you changing items from how they were in the old game? Originally, there were supposed to be no updates to OSRS and just have it as a snapshot of the game from 2007. Then, it was decided any changes would be polled to the playerbase. Then, unpolled integrity changes started to trickle in. Now, you're proposing a large rebalance of the game unpolled.

This is honestly so disheartening as a longtime player. A big reason that I play this game is because for the most part, everything remains constant. The blowpipe nerf could have been done when it was first released, but it has now become a staple item. Nerfing normal metal armor that has been in the game forever is also just laughable and shows that you do not care about the spirit of OSRS. Does anyone at Jagex actually even play this game anymore?
